— This paper presents the design and dimensioning optimization of a novel optical network structure, called the Petaweb, having a total capacity of several Pb/s (1015 bit/s). Its...
Abstract-- Security issues and attack management in transparent WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) optical networks has become of prime importance to network operators due to t...
One of the major concerns in optical networks is the bandwidth underutilization problem. In fact, as WDM technology keeps maturing, there is a bandwidth gap between the transmissi...
Routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) aims to assign the limited number of wavelengths in a wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) optical network so as to achieve greater capacit...
